Women fall victim in hip-hop portrayals
By Zach Hunsinger
Regardless ol where one grew up
or currently lives, regardless of wlml
music one listens to or the TV shows
one watches, regardless of skin color
or social class, everyone is immersed
in a society that is flooded with hip-
hop. Hip-hop is everywhere It lives
on the radio, mi television, in maga-
lisements. in the Internet, and even
on chat engines. Ignoring the influ-
ence of hip-hop is impossible. Un-
loiiiui.uely, the influence is far from
positive.

CEO of Nature Nurture Urban Con-

stated that they are "living a life thai

Bylield then explained how hip-

young girls. The girls are socialized
into believing what they hear. After
years of being devalued through mu-

to accept the poor illustrations. In

Hard sheets of cold rain fell on
March 28. but the beckoning warmth
of IPFWs Walb Student Union

included over 100 exhibits [bat of-

belly dancing class is offered through
Ihe IPFW Division of Continuing
Studies from July 30 - Aug 29 on
Monday and Tuesday evenings from
5:30 - 6:45 p.m. for a cost of $65.
"Join!" said Zweena. "Belly danc-
ing offers flexibility, slrength and con-
fidence, which can be lacking in stu-
dents on campus." She also advised
to join, because dance solves a big
problem for many students — finding
time for oneself. For more informa-
tion on belly dancing, contact Zweena

Ihc three speakers addressed
Ihc gimmicks of ihe music
induslry. Markcling ploys of
mentioning alcohol and co-
logne in songs. lead to a rise
in sales. However, the goods
marketed in rap songs arc de-
preciable. These items lower
in value as they age. The cor-
porations who own the music
artists have large profits and
then use ihe profits to invest
in appreciable items, With
more profit the corporations
can advertise more depre-
ciable goods, continuing the
cycle. Wade said, "music is a
gimmick, an entry level, that
reaches Ihe mainstream."
The three speakers agreed
education and confrontation
arc ihc best tools for combat-
ing this threat. This can be
done through one-on-one re-
lationships. Wade described
most people as unaware of the
situation. Parents may not un-
derstand the lyrics or the innu-
endos. Radio stations may not
completely censor a swear or a
sexual reference.
Smiley said the dynamics
of rap music are too complex
to be fought in any one way.
One main problem is societal
greed. People want to make
money, and the bottom line
is sex sells. Unfortunately.
women arc depicted inac-
curately, inappropriately and
consequently devalued. When
devaluation reaches a certain
level, violence against wom-
en is tolerated. Eventually
women arc essentially turned
into sex toys. Society needs
itself; otherwise it is going to
Nature Nurture, the urban
consultant program directed
by Wade, seeks to correct this
societal problem. The pro-
gram studies the impacts rap
has on people. Pom is already
a big industry; rap simply uses
Ihc same methods. As a result,
Communicator flooded with awards

Young girls are socialized
into believing what they see
and hear. What they arc see-
ing and hearing is describing
women as worthless, weak and
only important when almosl
naked. There is a direct re-
sult on girls' body images and
what is depicted in music vid-
eos. Wade mentions lhal the
FCC is doing its best at keep-
ing negative songs and videos
off the mainstream air, but il
is not completely successful.
Editing songs is difficult and
as Smiley mentioned, children
can find ways around parental
filters. Also, some parents jusl
are unaware. Nature Nurture
is making "a plea out to con-
scious people" to speak against
these problems.
The problem is the cumu-
lative effect of radio being ir-
responsible, unaware parents
and citizens and corporate
marketing ploys. ^

naturally from our souls, the reality

Kids Play
and Learn
at Library
By Louisa Danielson
Maybe you remember being a
little kid, walking out of the library
with ,1 stack of books propped under
your chin. You lumed in a mountain
of books every week - and cheeked
out another pile every time.
Well, the scene hasn't changed
much. The Allen County Public Li-
brary children's department is still
full of books - some 400,000 of them.
in fact, located at the main branch.
Now that the library has finished its
nuilii-million dollar renovation, all
these books and more .ire available to
the public.
Librarian Mary Voors, who has
worked at the ACPL for 25 years, is
a pillar of the children's department.
"(It's) the best place to work," she
said. Librarians must have a master's
degree in library science, although
some librarians also have back-
grounds in other fields, like cduca-
"Our library system is very, very,
very committed to pre -literacy," said
Voors. The ACPL was one of the first
libraries in the country with a chil-
dren's section 1 he department origi-
nally opened in 1907.
The 2007 children's department
was designed through the collabora-
tion of children's librarians from the
ACPL system and the community
who were "(c)ommitled to having a
very dynamic and active children's
department." said Voors. hxamplesot
their innovation include a gian
tank system that has two salt
tanks and one reef tank; a computer
room; a playhouse; short shelves lor
young patrons and an early learning
center where children and grow
interact in a learning-saturated
ronmenl. "There is no technology of
any kind in there,"' mentioned Voors.
"(only) face-to-face interaction be-
tween mom and dad and child."
The early learning center is for
preschool -aged children and adults.
Special areas in the center include a
writing center, a drama comer and
many reading nooks where chil-
dren can read with adults. Children
are encouraged to explore narrative
skills, letter knowledge, print aware-
ness, print motivation, phonological
awareness and vocabulary. In the
past, children have done this by cre-
ating alphabets, telling stories and
showing interest in books. "Kids
have to have (a) phonological refer-
ence," said Voors, highlighting pan
of the center's curriculum. In Febru-
ary alone, 6,218 people visited the
Center. There is no sign up sheet;
however, an adult must constantly be
present with his or her child.

Women's Softball slams Notre Dame

After several cancella-
tions due lo adverse weather,
the IPFW softball team finally
played a game at home last
week in a double header against
the Falcon's of Notre Dame

Fortunately, the game was
one worth waiting for, as IPFW
dominated both games of the
double header last Thursday af-
ternoon, winning 3-1 in game 1
and 6-4 in game 2. The softball
team now stands 5-13 for the
season after a string of tough
loses away during the Rebel
Games held in Orlando, FL, in
the first week of March.
IPFW's Junior shortstop
Ty Lambert (23) was the first
to score Thursday after a third
baseline hum set her to advance
to third base by a grounded out by
sophomore inlicklcr Michelle Mci-
ghan (11) and an error by the NDC
second base which took her to home
plate. NDC would come back in the
fourth inning to tie after a similar er-
ror by second base player Abby Li-

But He Dies in the Middle.
At his crucifixion, not even Jesus' closest followers would have called him a hero. The
man they thought was the Messiah was being executed. End of hopes. End of dream.
But then something happened. Three days later, his body was not in its burial tomb.
That night, he physically appeared to his disciples. He showed them all of the Scriptures that
foretold that he would die for the forgiveness of sins and then rise from the dead.
Jesus is the hero we needed..,the Savior who offers us eternal life and a chance to know
God personally. To know more, see the feature article BEYOND BLIND FAITH at
EveryStudentcom.
